About us and our baby...
We've been married since June 2nd of 2006. And on October 25th, my wonderful hubby and I found out we were pregnant! I had been testing with the dipping strips for about 4 days and kept getting really faint lines... my mom got sick of it all and got me a digital one. I could hardly sleep that night and when it was time to get up and pee, i was shaking!!
The test immediately showed pregnant and I've been in a dream-like state ever since!!
We found out our baby is a boy on February 13th and we were soooooooooooooo HAPPY!!! We thought all along that he was a girl because people kept telling me that I was carrying high, that I had too much morning sickness for it to be a boy, and my hubby and I had had multiple dreams even when we were just dating that we would have a little girl. So we had named the baby Isabella Anna...
Even the night before the ultrasound I had a dream that the baby was born and it was a girl.. so it was a HUGE surprise but we were both very very happy! My hubby is a drummer so we are praying that he will be born with some kind of musical gift :)
I'm also going to nursing school to later pursue a career in midwifery.. so this baby has come at the perfect time! I'm passionate about life and birth and pregnancy (although I know I will NOT miss being pregnant!) It has been an amazing experience so far and although I have had a lot of rough times, it has been a great ride.
I love my little boy more and more each day and I cannot wait to hold him in my arms and smell his hair.. and stare at him all day :) I've dreamt of being a mother since I was 3.. and I'm so excited that I'm finally one to a very healthy and sweet little guy :)

I went through the same thing with my little man and he refused to take my breast. It would take 45 minutes of struggling before he finally latched on and he would only feed for 5 minutes because he prefers the formula and then he hungary again in a half hour. I finally gave in to the formula because i was loosing my sanity but now i kind of regret it.

I had horrible sore boobs for a while....Hang in there. I swear it will go away. Gerber has asomething called breast therapy to put on your nipples and it really helps!!!!

one more tip I thought of...not sure exactly what your situation is, but try to start nursing him as soon as starts to act even a lil hungry or just feels like sucking. The more worked up he gets, especially waiting for your let down, the more he may turn his head and scream, mad that the milk isn't flowing instantly like formula does
lizvt - Saturday, 5 July
I saw your post about breastfeeding. If your breasts are really engorged and hard feeling your baby may be having an even more difficult time latching on. Especially at first when they are used to them being softer or easily getting the milk from the bottle. My lil boy latched on right after he was born, but got frustrated when my milk first came in. You could try pumping a lil or hand expressing some milk first to get the milk flowing, relieve some of the pressure, and make your breasts a lil softer and easier to latch onto. It may make it a lil easier for your little boy. Also, the adiri bottles are great if you need to use a bottle. They are shaped kinda breast like and babies will latch onto them correctly limiting nipple confusion. Good luck!

i just saw your post about your breastfeeding issues. i had a similar problem with my son michael. he lost nearly a pound, the night we took him home from the hospital he screamed all night long and dehydrated himself, the next day we couldnt wake him to feed. in a panic we called the pediatrician and when they saw him they told us to suppliment 2-3 oz of formula until my milk came in. luckily it wasnt too long, but we did have latching issues. he has never been a great breastfeeder, but even after giving him the bottle, i struggled to correct him for about a week and he got better. he still is a lously nurser, he falls asleep constantly and wants to eat again right away after he wakes up. sometimes when he is really bad and i am feeling super full i pump and put it in a bottle for him. that way he is still getting breast milk and i know he is getting enough to eat, plus it keeps my milk levels more even. i know a few people who have had latching issues and decided to just pump and give the baby a bottle of breast milk instead. i hope things get better for you, i understand how frustrating it is!
